What kind of applications? If they are web applications with a URL, you should be able to add them. If they are JavaScript applications, you might be able to add them (e.g., as "bookmarklets").

Apps on the hard drive.

That's not a built-in feature. Over the years, there have been add-ons to launch links in external applications, or maybe even just to mimic IE's feature. However, the reviews of what seems to be available now are not that promising. You're probably better off using the Windows 7 "pin to Taskbar" feature for your most frequently accessed applications.

Here's a similar question (not sure that one is solved yet): Can I include a few Program Shortcuts in the Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar like I used to in IE8?
